I watched it and it was truly awful. Embarassingly bad. Very uncomfortable to watch.
yes - I had hopes for it but it was a real clunker---seemed really forced and just---I don't know...WEIRD.
I gave up after 10 min and popped in and out for the rest....it was sooooo bad. Last night Ellen had her variety show from Vegas and I watched it and was sorry it was only an hour long.What a difference.
